Suggestion re: "Privacy and security" placement in brave://settings/

[lukemulks]

Description

This may be an item that there is a current plan of record for. Please close if this is the case. Couldn't locate an existing issue that covered it.

In brave://settings/, if I want to access Privacy and security settings, I need to click to expand the Advanced settings

Suggesting we feature Privacy and security settings above the fold, and expose by default when a user navigates to brave://settings/.

We currently assume that users are comfortable enough to access Advanced settings to discover privacy settings. Additional click and discovery required. Isn't easy to locate.

I strongly suspect this is already something people have discussed, and this is likely a waste of an issue. That said, am noting just in case.

@tomlowenthal ^ I suspect you've got the answer for this one.

Steps to Reproduce

1. in the URL bar, enter: brave://settings/
2. scroll down, below peopleand appearance.
3. hope that the users venture intoAdvanced settings-territory.

Actual result:

Sub-level, post-click placement of privacy and security settings.

Expected result:

Privacy and Security for non-advanced preference-setting users.

Reproduces how often:

Brave version (brave://version info)

Version 0.55.20 Chromium: 70.0.3538.67 (Official Build) (32-bit)

Reproducible on current release:

• Does it reproduce on brave-browser dev/beta builds?

Website problems only:

• Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields?
• Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome?

The 0.55 series doesn't have our settings design improvements — there are only small changes from Chrome. Probably worth looking at this against the updated designs instead.
